    Favourite player.... and stuff the rest of ya

    Overall...Brendan Goddard...great too watch, plays every position, and takes a hanger, which I love. From my team...Ricky Bobby Petterd and Col Garland. Underated, stars in my eyes. From other teams...loved watching Brian Harris mark when everyone else would punch...even liked Brian Lake who...

    Can Sheedy or Malthouse eclipse Matthews as the Best coach ever??

    Norm Smith- Total 10 Premierships 6 as coach, 4 as player. Never been matched by anyone except Ron Barassi. Also inolved in 10 flags. Never will be challeneged again.

    Does any believe Scully is injured?

    Shane Tuck too. He'd be in their best 22 wouldn't he? Anyways, I can see why other Dees supporters are against the theory, but we'll find out soon enough. If he announces he is going to GWS and his injury mysteriously mends, I sir, will have no doubts.

    Does any believe Scully is injured?

    I'm suggesting Melbourne refuse to play him. Considering Bailey loves him, I'd say this is the instruction from above. Maybe I'm wrong, but something smells fishy about this one.

    Does any believe Scully is injured?

    I sure don't. This kid was flown home from Shanghai with family issues to see to. Didn't play. He then missed the practice matches(40min games) against Adelaide and Port. The issue arose of him possibly going to GWS. He didn't play against Essendon in the NAB Cup. Then, he has that...

    Changes for Brisbane

    Brains on BigFooty, I like it. Maric needs a kick up the arse and he'll fire up. Jones has tried harder than alot. Bate would be a massive mistake.

    Is Brendon Goddard Overrated?

    Not top five, he is top 1,2 or 3. One of ONLY two players(Paddy Ryder the other), who can play every position in the game. Defends brilliantly then counter attacks like Kennelly used to. Always kicks goals when played forward in first quarters. And kills it around the ground at every level. Judd...

    Melbourne's Fixture

    Senior list 2011- Melbourne 22y157d Richmond 22y163d Almost ther same. Richmond have younger rookies so either team can have a case for younger list if that's what you wanna hang on. I couldn't give two shizzles, so I expect a final. Cannot see it happening but who knows.

    Your current round 1 line up and preseason form rating

    Rivers a hack? Wouldn't think so. Has been pretty solid and is primed for a decent year again. Reads the ball better than most in the league through the air. And marks when unconested instead of punching toward the boundary.

    That was Pathetic

    Unfortunately this may be true. After an improvement last year I thought we'd make the finals but it looks like we haven't improved that much. Not worried about the loss of age(Bruce,McDonald) because that will always happen. Was disappointed how we set up when going forward. Also found at times...

    Is that Blair-Pies or Blair GWS? Pretty hard to win from a spoon side.

    Coaching Coincidence?

    I sure do. Played well when in defense and often. I would definately name him as a defender.

    David Swallow

    He was Ok, the Swallow kid. David is it? Seen better debuts, but he only had a half, and a half. How about that Josh Fraser? And the tips of Gold Coast getting a spoon. Idiots. Freo and Adelaide didn't get a spoon and they didn't have half those concessions. Gold Coast not a chance. In fact I...

    Scully's Already Signed with GWS: Eddie

    Um...we tanked. Not sure why other Melbourne fans are trying to deny it, not all of us do. Furthermore I believe we tanked in a much more ethical way, we showed it. We knew if we did we could get both Scully and Martin, and we did. Our players weren't into the tanking and some tried their guts'...

    This site cracks me up. I do enjoy it. Sometimes we get footy news, sometimes opinions, but for the most part, entertainment. This is why I come here. And the top 10 things we hear: 10. Competitive (sad that the Dees use this word so often) 9. Ninthmond/Whore-thorn (some comedians drop in) 8...

    Scully

    Melbourne are cheats. No, Collingwood are cheats. Oh, North should try cheating to survive. Look, it's business. If you aren't taking advantage of the system, then that's bad business. Loyalty, Ethics, Morals, Culture...all out the door if you wanna be successful in this game. Use the...

    Why should you be in our league?

    Ok, it's that time of year. Supercoach is back and we have relegated one mate from our league for not averaging high enough. This has opened the door for a new participant, who performs and scores highly all year, and contributes abusively to the coaches box. So tell me why you should join...

    My wishlist (x 10) for 2011

    All in all the boys to do everything for Jimmy, that said: 1. Play finals footy (13wins maybe req.) 2. To beat Collingwood 3. At least two of -Jurrah, Green, Dunn, Watts- to kick 45 each 4. To find a genuine forward pocket who can both crumb and snap 5. For Sylvia and Grimes to play all games...

    Your teams Sub - who and why?

    If I were to coach a side I'd think more laterally about the sub. Everyone seems to think having a utility is the option. Maybe someone who can pinch hit in the ruck, like a Paddy Ryder. I'd go the other way. Start with your best ruck and a back up, a Lynden Dunn type up forward. When Jamar...

    If you could choose 3 players over 30 years of age.....

    Wouldn't think so. Long kick but not as quick as our slowest defender. Great career but wouldn't want to rely on him going forward. When you don't have the talent to make the finals, let the old boys go. eg: Junior McDonald. Talented, but not going to win a play in a flag.

    If you could choose 3 players over 30 years of age.....

    By next season start: With Dees headint forward- GREEN, HAYES, SCARLETT Fletcher struggle to get a game in our backline at his age and ability. Milburn the same. Goodes just behind Black for his career for mine. Brownlow's mean nothing to me.
